Beijing, 11 Feb (Xinhua) -- The Beijing Winter Olympics will be halfway through the schedule, and six gold medals will be produced on the 12th. Gao Tingyu and Zhao Dan, who served as the flag bearers of the Chinese delegation at the opening ceremony, will compete in the men's speed skating 500 meters and women's steel frame snowmobile finals respectively, and are expected to make new breakthroughs.

Gao Tingyu, who achieved a breakthrough in Chinese men's speed skating at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics and won the 500m bronze medal, will continue to attack the medals in this event on the 12th. Although the masters are gathered, Gao Tingyu has the world's leading speed of the first 100 meters, and with the strength of the flag bearer of the Chinese delegation, people have reason to expect him to bring breakthroughs and surprises in the "ice ribbon".

Zhao Dan, another flag bearer of the Chinese delegation, will play in the women's steel frame snowmobile, and in the first two rounds of the previously concluded skating, she is temporarily fourth, and teammate Li Yuxi is temporarily in 10th place. In the first place is Australian Jacqueline Narakot, who is 0.32 seconds faster than Zhao Dan. I hope that Zhao Dan will play perfectly in the last two rounds of skating on the 12th and strive for medals.

The day will also usher in the women's 4×5 km relay final of cross-country skiing, and the Chinese team strives to break through and enjoy the competition in the strengths of this European and American country.
The other three gold medals of the day will be produced in the biathlon men's 10 km sprint, snowboarding track mixed team, and ski jumping men's individual big jump.
Among the other non-gold medal competitions, it is worth noting that the Chinese women's curling team will face the strong Swedish team, the Chinese men's ice hockey team will challenge the last runner-up Team Germany, and Wang Shiyue/Liu Xinyu will appear in the ice dance rhythm dance.
